Mallika Sherawat couldn’t have picked a more appropriate stage debut. The actor will do a walk-on part in the Centenary show of Mahabanoo Mody Kotwal’s Vagina Monologues, which will be staged at Prithvi Theatre, Mumbai, later this month. Mallika’s spokesperson has confirmed the news. According to Kotwal, Mallika is a thorough professional and took all the initiative to make this possible once she agreed to do the walk -on. Mallika will perform the piece My Short Skirt, which, Kotwal says is very apt in today’s times. The same piece was performed by Hollywood star Marisa Tomei in Mumbai at the International Women’s Day Celebrations last year. Besides Tomei, Jane Fonda and Eve Ensler, who performed in Mumbai, Mallika joins the ranks of the several stars – including Dame Judi Dench, Julia Roberts, Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg and others who have done walk-on parts in Vagina Monologues worldwide.
